Q: Which Arista switches are compatible with the PWR-1611-AC-RED?
A: The PWR-1611-AC-RED is designed for Arista 7060X Series 1RU switches including the 7060DX4, 7060PX4, 7060DX5, 7060PX5, 7060CX2, and 7060SX2 models. It is specifically for switches requiring front-to-back airflow configuration.

Q: What does the RED designation mean in the model number?
A: The RED designation indicates that this power supply features a red handle for easy identification and is designed for front-to-back (forward) airflow. This helps ensure proper airflow matching when deploying redundant power supplies in your data center switches.

Q: Can this power supply be replaced without shutting down the switch?
A: Yes, the PWR-1611-AC-RED is hot-swappable, allowing you to replace or add power supplies without powering down the system. This feature is essential for maintaining uptime in mission-critical data center environments when deployed in redundant configurations.

Q: Does this power supply support both AC and DC input?
A: Yes, the PWR-1611-AC-RED supports both AC and DC power inputs, providing flexibility for various data center power infrastructure configurations and ensuring compatibility with different deployment scenarios.

Q: How many power supplies does an Arista 7060X switch require?
A: Arista 7060X Series switches typically support dual redundant power supplies for N+1 redundancy. While a single 1600W PSU can power most configurations, deploying two units provides failover protection and continuous operation if one supply fails.
